Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to discuss the updated guideline recommendations on management of dyslipidemia for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Recent Findings: The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) published revised cholesterol management guidelines in 2018 and 2019, respectively, to reflect new evidence in the field. Broadly speaking, both emphasize refining cardiovascular disease risk estimation and aggressively lowering low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) with statin and non-statin agents to curb cardiovascular risk. While they share the same guiding principles, there are important differences in the recommendations from both societies including how they define risk categories and goals for LDL-C lowering. This review summarizes current methods of managing dyslipidemia with a focus on the common themes and notable differences between the 2018 ACC/AHA and 2019 ESC/EAS cholesterol management guidelines.

Nurses' Views on Barriers to Oral Care in Non-Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Study.
Nurs Crit Care
September 2025
School of Nursing and Midwifery, Monash University, Frankston, Victoria, Australia.
Background: Optimal oral care is essential in preventing non-ventilator hospital-associated pneumonia and enhancing patient comfort. However, nurses' clinical oral care practices for patients not on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit are both underreported and understudied.
Aim: To explore intensive care nurses' clinical oral care practices for patients not on mechanical ventilation in intensive care units.
Biological Sex and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Systemic Arterial Hypertension.

Biological sex influences the life course development of blood pressure, systemic arterial hypertension, and hypertension-associated complications through neural, hormonal, renal, and epigenetic mechanisms. Sex hormones influence blood pressure regulation through interaction with several main regulatory systems, including the autonomic nervous system, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, endothelin, and renal mechanisms. The modulation of vascular function by sex hormones varies over the lifespan.

Background: The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a validated surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, its association with stroke and dementia in nondiabetic populations remains insufficiently investigated.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included nondiabetic participants from the UK Biobank.
In-Flight Deterioration Occurs Early in Aeromedical Trauma Patients.
Emerg Med Australas
October 2025
Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation, School of Public Health & Social Work, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Reliably defining the risk of adverse in-flight events in aeromedical trauma patients could enable more informed pre-departure treatment and guide central asset allocation to achieve better system-level outcomes. Unfortunately, the current literature base specifically examining the in-flight period is sparse. Flight duration is often considered a proxy for the risk of in-flight deterioration; however, there is limited data to support this commonly held assumption.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the associations between ambient air pollution and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) differ by genotype. A genome-wide approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a genomic scale.
Methods: Using data from ≈300 000 UK Biobank participants, we conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis on 10 745 802 variants.
